Dryland Training resumes in mid September.   In the mean time there are many possibilities to keep  in shape.  If you have other ideas than these, let Jo-Ann or Penny know and we will post them here.  The groups that have regular weekly events will have their own private facebook page, otherwise every Sofit will be constantly bombarded with more info than they want. Simply let the contact person know that you are interested and she will add your name to the group. (please ask only if you are intending to actually come to these things, though!)  Note that these activities are NOT COACHED.

<strong>Yvonne and Anne's Weekly Friday Cycling</strong> in the park and in scenic locales.  This year they are ramping it up to train for Cape Breton.    Contacts: Yvonne or Anne or Susan O.

<strong>Wednesday Morning Runs,</strong> Blair Road and Aviation Museum area (on the river path).  Suitable for beginning runners, we can supply a beginning training plan.  We gradually build to a max of 5 K.  Very friendly group.    Contact:  Marg, Rosy or Jo-Ann.

<strong>Hikes -Yikes</strong>:  Contact Rosy.  These hikes will be serious training and not just a walk in the woods.

<strong>Twice Weekly Meech Lake Swims</strong>:  Early morning (well, that depends somewhat on the group).  For this one you need a wetsuit and need to be comfortable swimming in open water.  Although several of us use rescue cans, this swim is completely unsupported.   We start at the end of May with about 15 minutes, and add perhaps around 10 minutes each week.  We aim to swim regularly  except during thunderstorms.   Option to cycle or run afterwards on a  quiet Meech Lake Road or in the park.  If you are training for triathlons, this is the perfect group for you.   Contact Jo-Ann or Pauline

<strong>Weekly Trail Running:</strong> Contact Jo-Ann (or Janey?).  Starts short and easy and gradually builds to ah hour or more of hilly running.  Possibly Saturday or Sunday mornings.  May take a break during high bug season.

<strong>Occasional Mountain Biking:</strong>  in the park, especially in the fall.    Contact Susan R.

<strong>Occasional Orienteering: </strong> This would be through the  Ottawa Orienteering Club, and is a very fun way to get in a run in a pleasant new spot,  while testing your map reading.

<strong>Occasional Canoe Trips</strong>: day trips or longer.   Propose away!
